Organizing now to win for workers Nov. 6
The Fifty-Fifth Annual Convention of the NC State AFL-CIO will return to the state capital for two days in September.
Delegates from AFL-CIO unions and councils representing workers from every economic sector across North Carolina are expected to attend our 2012 state convention in Raleigh, where they will get energized and mobilize for the final push in our Labor 2012 campaign to re-elect President Barack Obama, to keep radical right-wing rubber stamp Pat McCrory from moving into our Governor's mansion, and to elect candidates up and down the ballot who value work and condemn greed.
What: 2012 state AFL-CIO convention
When: Thursday-Friday, September 13-14
Where: Hilton North Raleigh/Midtown, 3415 Wake Forest Rd, Raleigh, NC 27609
